Guide to Japan and Teaching English in Japan

TEACHING IN JAPAN

Former ELT News editor Michael Chan wrote this comprehensive guide to teaching English in Japan. It covers
just about any question you might have, from the kind of qualifications you need to the differences between
the different kinds of schools.

JET PROGRAM(ME)

Thousands of people come from all around the world to work on the JET Program every year. Most work as Assistant
Language Teachers, but there are also many positions at municipal offices. This guide by former JET Ryan Olson tells
it all, including the pitfalls to watch out for.

LIVING IN JAPAN

One of the most daunting prospects for a newcomer to Japan is having to deal with how differently things
are done here. This added to the difficulty of the language can make the first few months very stressful.
Our guide will help you deal with some of those issues.

JAPANESE ELT WORDS

If you work in a school here in Japan, you'll come across a lot of Japanese words related to teaching or the school
environment. If your Japanese is not up to scratch, you can make life a lot easier, and avoid a lot of confusion, if
you can remember at least these few words.
